The peach consumer is having a
harder time these days than the peach
growers-that is, a harder time to get
at the facts. On Sunday he was assured
from Delaware that the 100000 bask-
cts that had been expected had dwin-
died down and down until only l 500, 900
were in sight. On Tuesday news came
from New Jersey that the orchards look
healthy and most of the trees are well
filled with peaches. On the whole, the
two accounts fairly offset each other
and the peach lover may be pretty sure
OF getting an adequate supply of
the luscious fruit.-NeaU York Tribune.

July.

Ju:y-for you the songs are sung
By birds the leafy trees among:
With merry carOlings they wake
The meadows at the mornings break,
And through the day the lisping breeze
Is woven with their tree-top glees.
For you the prattling, pebbly brooks
Are full of tales, like story-books.
For you a fragrant incense burns
Within the gardens blossOm-urns
Which tempt the bees to hasten home
With honey for their honey-comb.
The river like loOking-glass,
Reflects the tleecy clouds that pass,
Until it makes us almost doubt
Hearth and sky are Mt changed about.
July-for you, in silence deep
The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on the glorious holiday,
When all our books we put away
And every little maid and man
Is proud to be American!

Change of Policy.

1t was announced on Monday that the
Board of Supervisors under the advice
of Senator White, had determined to
await official action in regard to the
office of County Tax Collector till the
end of the present month, when that
official would be obliged to turn over
the county funds that he had collected
during tho month to the County Aud.
itor, according to the laws of the State.
Failing in this payment the official was
to be removed and the vacancy ceused by
his removal filed by appointment
But it seems that change of policy
was adopted yesterday and the office
essentially closed. All parties who wish
to pay delinquent taxes can pay to G. G.
Mason. County Assessor, or to Oscar
Macy of the Board of Supervisors. All
Deputy Tax Collectors are let down and
out by this action of the Supervisors.
During the past few days, while the
office Of Tax Collector was hanging on
the ragged edge, Deputy Cobler de.
posted the funds collected in the office
in the Southern California National Bank
to the credit of the County Tax Col.
lector. Should the missing Tax Col
lector appear before April lst and pay
up there would be an amusing case of Q
triumvirate of tax collectors.
